บททั้งหมดของ The Last Ruby Wolf - Live as a Queen or Die as a Monster: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Kieran's POV:Three of Crant's men lunged at me, but I didn't hesitate. I barely moved a muscle sticking them down with my claws drawing blood. The men fell to the floor unconscious and I wiped my hand off the blood. "You were saying?" I asked. Crant watched, unimpressed and with a wave of his hand, all his men attacked at the same time. I threw them off easily. Darius fought, and Caius stayed protecting Sienna from any of their attacks. "Stop!" Crant yelled, and his men halted. Half of them had fallen to the floor unconscious if not dead. He took off his coat, tossing it aside to the floor and settled into a fighting position as he cracked his knuckles.Darius bared his teeth, ready to pounce, but I shot him a warning look. "Don't."Darius frowned, and halted. "What…?"I looked at Crant, raising my index finger and moving it slightly before bringing it down. "He's got the smell of wolfsbane on him.""You have sharp senses, Kieran. I expected no less," Crant said. Damn him! He

Darius's POVThe moon cast long shadows through the trees as I moved quietly through the forest. My heart hammered in my chest, but my face stayed calm. Years of practice had taught me how to hide my feelings, even from other wolves who could smell fear.I reached the clearing and waited, ears alert for any sign I'd been followed. No one in the pack suspected me—not even Kieran. Especially not Kieran.A twig snapped and I spun around, claws extended."Jumpy tonight, aren't we?" A figure appeared from the darkness, her face hidden beneath a hood."Isa," I answered with a curt nod. "The attack went exactly as planned."She pulled back her hood, showing sharp features and eyes that gleamed with dangerous magic. The Black Moon Witch smiled, but it never reached her eyes."And our Ruby Wolf?" she asked."The mark has activated," I confirmed. "Her powers are growing, just as the Queen predicted."Isa stepped closer, her fingers trailing over a nearby tree, leaving frost in their wake. "Kier

Caius's POVMy footsteps rang through the marble halls of the Vampire Court. Servants bowed as I passed, their eyes downcast, fearing my look. I straightened my jacket, preparing myself for the show ahead.Father waited in the throne room, ringed by his ever-present advisors. The Vampire King hadn't left this castle in over a century, yet his reach stretched far beyond these walls."My son returns," he stated, silencing the court with a wave of his pale hand. "What news of the werewolves?"I knelt before the dais, a show of respect I didn't feel. "The Alpha suffers from his curse as the full moon approaches. His power weakens by the hour.""And the Ruby Wolf?" Father leaned forward, his ancient eyes gleaming with attention."Her powers grow," I replied carefully, giving only what served my purpose. "The markings spread across her skin, responding to some external force."I omitted Ronan's escape and Kieran's study. Some secrets were better kept, even from a king.Father motioned for m

Isolde's POVThe moon hung heavy outside my window as I arranged my tools. Five black candles made a star on the floor. In the middle lay three precious items: a strand of fiery red hair, a scrap of bloodstained cloth, and a small vial of ash. All taken from Sienna during the last attack."Little wolf, you can't hide from me," I whispered, striking a match.As the candles flickered to life, I closed my eyes and let power flow through my fingers. Magic wasn't just something I did—it was who I was. The Black Moon Witch. Once guardian of the Ruby Wolves, now their best hunter.I sprinkled dried herbs over the things and began to chant in a language older than time. The candles' flames stretched toward the sky, turning blood red. On the wall, shadows danced like dogs running through a forest."Show me the bloodline. Show me the Ruby Wolves."The flames converged into a map—floating, glowing lines that twisted across countries. Where Ruby Wolves once thrived, now only faint signs remained.

The Midnight Queen's POVI watched them all through my scrying pool—little pieces moving across my chessboard. The killer had found his memories. The Alpha offered defense. And Sienna, my beautiful Sienna, stood at the center of it all, unaware of the blood we shared.The water rippled, showing Ronan approaching the packhouse with his hands raised. Foolish boy. Love had made him weak."My Queen, we've lost contact with Nyx," Vex announced, entering my chamber. Blood stained his hands—someone had displeased him again.I waved dismissively. "Ronan killed him. It matters little."My inner haven lay deep beneath the mountains, far from prying eyes. Ancient symbols carved into black stone walls glowed with magic. A throne of polished obsidian commanded the room, wolf skulls decorating its high back."Summon the others," I ordered.Five hooded figures filtered in, making a half-circle before me. My closest circle—the only ones I almost trusted."Tomorrow night, we attack the Shadowfang Pack
